popa: i’m still waiting for you to quote where in shulchan aruch it writes that you should get so drunk that you should get sick to your stomach and throw up, compromise on the other mitzvos, act out of control and inappropriately, and cause chillul Hashem.
It says ???? ????? ?????? ?????? ?? ??? ??? ??? ???? ??? ????? ?????. Hardly ambiguous.
You can see that it is literal, since the rema disagrees and says one does not need to get that drunk, but rather need only get drunk the way you suggest.
and why do you keep misinterpreting what i say? to get drunk is ok. go dance in the streets, show ur simcha… but what i describe above, is disgusting.
I’m not misinterpreting. I am saying that many poskim and the shulchan aruch say to get drunk in the manner which is disgusting. That is, throwing up, completely oblivious to reality, etc.
